To all whom it may concern;-

Be it known that we, KARL WENDE, residing at Nimptsch, and MAX KUDRASS, residing at llliinsterberg, Prussia, Germany, sub- 5 'jects of thc-Kingof Prussia, GermaniEm- I peror, have invented certain new and useful Up Pre- Improved Apparatus for Measuring or- LnldeterminedQuantities of Granular verous Materials, of-whieh .the following is a full, clear, and exact description. The present invention consists of an apparatus for mcasurin g up predetermined and variable quantities of gran iilar orpulverous materials, and comprises the details of construction hereinafter more particularly, dcscribed, and pointedout in the claim; and inorder to render the present specification I more easily intelligible reference is had tothe accompanying drawings, in which similar iettcrs of reference denote similar parts throughoutthe several views.'- p

Figure 1 is a vertical seetionthrough the apparatus on theline m as of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 a plan, and Fig. 3 a' front-elevation, of the machine.- f I The apparatus comprises a vertical stand- -ardd, provided with meansjat its lower end for clamping it to a table orcounteizf At its upper part. the 'standardrl' is provided with two horixentally projecting plates I) and c,of which the lower is verticallyadjustable with regard to. the upper on the said standard by" means of a clampingscipw m, mounted onJa bracket 1) of the saidplate, and engaging through a slot-of tho 'standard d. Between the plates 1) and a are mounted to rotate on pivot 5 diakac and e, which arckept in conv tact with the uppcr and lower plates by means of a spring In The two disks 0 and e" are telescopically connected by means of any number of tubesh, the lower parts of which iaieattachedto the lower and the upper to the upper plate or disk; i 3 The standard (I is provideilwith 89 10, as

ii, on which the bracket'jimay; adjusted, sothat the tubes 71 may be regulated to receive a certain prti determinable j quantity or weight of the granular or pulvcrous substanceto' bemcas'ured up.

The upper of the two disks e e is'provided with projections s on its periphery extending beyond the edge of the upper standard-plate b, and thus enabling the two disks with their telescopical tubes to be conveniently.turned on their pivot J r 5 ,The upper plate bis proi'ided witha boring or orifice under which any one of the tubes 7: may be brought by rotating the disks containing them. 'Above the boringahopper a is advantageously arranged. Thelower plate c is also provided withanoutlet-funnel I o, said funnel being arraugodinthe line of r rotation of the said tubes h, but at a diiferent'point of said lineas regards theoriflco to which the hopper a is'attaehed. '65

from the above description. The material to be measured up is placed in the hopper a, the lower outlet of which is closed by the part of the disk 1) between the tube'sjh.

of the tubes It under the hopper, when it-will be filled by the substance falling into it;

"Phedisk is now rotated further, so as to bring the full tube over under which the receptacle l is placed, when the quantity of substance measured off by the adjusted 'tubo' h will pass into the bag or other receptacle. In the meantime another was, being emptied, rearrangement of the tubes apart being such as to bring the'next tube under ihehoppcr while the firstis be ing emptied. e

'0 claim as our inventio n--'- V 'i.hc combination of astandard dhaving an uppcr'horizontal stationary plate I) and a lower adjustable plate c, disks 6e mounted between said plates and spring-pressed apart,

telesco'pieal tubes h connecting said disks 9'0 and arranged at equal distances from the'cen- ,ter of same, a hopper on the upper plate haw The operation of the devieewill be obvious [The 70. said tubedisks are now rotated tobring one the outlet-funnel o,
